It depends on the window manager - most have some way to get the resize decorations on the screen, and then you can resize the window. Basically these are application bugs though, and you should file a bug report if there isn't one already. > 2. My GNOME Panel seems to be missing.

Try running panel by hand from an xterm, and see if you get something different. When using icewm with Gnome, many people like to turn off icewm's panel. I think the icewm docs in /usr/doc/icewm may tell you how to do this; there might be an icewm configuration program too. > 3.

If not, the window manager control panel won't be able to change your window manager, instead you'll need to edit ~/.xsession by hand. Havoc
